Back to Work, but not fo us!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here again!

You know, we just love the fact that The Missus and Old Two Legs are retired and what work they do is done mostly from home, so, that means we have got company all day long and can snooze of go out 'Walkies' when ever we want!

Holly said that she used to get really bored when her first family all went out to work and that's why she used to chew the skirting board and get in trouble!

Not now, if she fancies a chew there's always the bit of rawhide chew to be found under the sofa or behind the bed!

This morning, while everyone was asleep, I found a bit of Rawhide Chew under OTL's pillow, just where Holly left it yesterday afternoon!

Tasted Great!

This morning's run was a bit drafty, the sun had got up and then gone back to bed, no sign of him anywhere!

The ferrets were showing off their new harness and trying to get us to believe that they help make them run faster!

Yeah, right!

Just Look At That Ferret Go!

She must have a new harness on!

Just look at my new Faster Harness!

Of course, Mr Brambles was showing off his 'Camouflage Harness' which he says keeps him hidden from Eagles and Nargles and other dangerous animals!

Bet you can't see me!

Once we got off the beach and onto the Sea Wall, Snowflake spotted OTL had stopped to adjust something on his camera and while he was doing it, the ferret bag had fallen open!

Is that a Bag I see before me?

Trouble was, she wasn't quick enough and OTL was walking away just as she got up speed to chase the bag!

On the grass path Holly reckons she could sniff Stoat Wee in the grass, just where Snowflake had spotted it yesterday but I couldn't sniff it at all.

I think she was just trying to wind me up!

Well, I can't sniff it at all!

I did suggest that Holly had been sniffing Brambles tail again and that's why she had Stoat Wee on her nose!

Lunchtime, OTL had some deliveries to do and of course we went along as Security Guards!

Just for a reward, we went down to the Riverside Park, but before that we went down to the Sea Wall again!

We met up with Mr Corvid who was showing off his 'Closed Wing Flying'!

Hey Girls, catch this!

Next we were off down to the Bank, the first on our list of 'Places to Go'. We stood guard in the car and woofed off anyone who came close!

Then off for a couple of deliveries and on the way back we stopped off at Riverside Park!

I must admit, it was a little rainy and the wind was blowing in off the river. There were a few woofers down there but it looked rather deserted!

Down the path a bit we spotted a Two Leg Bozo with a camera! Our OTL isn't the only Bozo with a camera!

Look! Another Bozo!

Holly and I had some fun running over the rocks and chasing each other!

I had some fun first of all hiding and then creeping up on her when she wasn't looking!

OK, here we go, creepy, creepy up on a Holly Dog!

It was all good fun but we were glad to be back home in the warm for a snooze before 'Mugging Time'!

OTL has got Gammon tonight so Holly and I are looking forward to some nibbles from his plate!

Tomorrow the new suite will arrive and the old one will be taken away, it's just in which order will they arrive!

You are very lucky woofers, me and little Arch wish we could stay home together and work from home. Mind you, I notice that TM always makes you get up early. It's fun having a snooze when you feel like it and going out when you fancy a walk. What's this I hear about a little wee in the kitchen and TM finding it? I gather OTL was able to name the culprit. Doesn't Mr Brambles and Miss Snowflake look posh in their new harness's ......... wow, I could only just spot Mr B ........ and I love Miss Snowflake's go faster stripes along with the flowers on her harness. Well you've had a pretty busy day, considering you're all stay at homes. Well done you and Holly for standing guard on the car and woofing away any shifty looking sorts. That Mr Corvid looks very clever with his closed wing flying. Lovely pics again today. Good luck with the muggings tonight, have a good pre bed snooze in the warm there. Love, licks and wags from little Arch xxxx

What a delightful day and how smart Snowflake and Mr B look in their new harnesses, you have some attention seekers there, watch out or they will outshine you. Hope TM and OTL like their new suite and the old one finds a nice new home. You were really travelling about today, being with retired people is very tiring, all go here, go there, come here, come there, hard to keep up with them. TM does some very beautiful work in her retirement, I can't comment on how beautiful OTL's work is though. Gammon, sounds good to me, hope you managed to mug a nice sample before and after another snooze. xxxx

About Me

Hello, my name is Daisy and I was taken away from
Mum and Dad by Old Two Legs and The Missus one cold dark evening. It was a bit
traumatic at the time but we all soon settled down and everything is OK now.

My sister Holly came to live with us about a year later and between the pair of us we manage to keep these Two Legs in line!

In December 2012, we were joined by Snowflake, a little ferret we found in our garden. She had her own home in OTL's office called Snowy Heights!

Then in July 2013 Mr Brambles, a super Sandy Hob Ferret, came to live with us and be a mate for Snowflake. We sadly lost Mr Brambles to old age in September 2015. A gentle ferret who will be missed terribly. We also lost Miss Snowflake in November 2015. She has left a big hole in our hearts, she was a real Daddy's Girl to the end.

There arrived two new ferrets in August 2015, Miss May and Miss April who are sisters, born in 2013, we think! They were full of fun and mischief and kept up the tradition of pinching our biscuits, just like Brambles did!

Sadly Miss April contracted Cardiomyopathy, which is a heart condition. She died in September 2016 and is resting in a flower pot in the garden with Snowflake and Brambles.

We were down to two ferrets and an empty cage but that didn't last long, a brother and sister ferrets needed a 'Forever Home' and Fred & Wilma moved in. They are about two and a half years old, so they were born 2012/2013. Fred is a gentle soul who loves cuddles with OTL and Wilma a bossy sister but loves OTL! We reckon them to be Polecat Coloured Ferrets.

It was a shock when Wilma was attacked by a dog and unfortunately died of shock a few hours later. Like Snowflake, Brambles and April, she is also sleeping in a flower pot in our garden.

Fred was not happy about being on his own and he was introduced to Wendy, a Polecat Coloured Ferret who found her way to the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue.

Introductions went well to begin with but within a day or so she began instructing Fred on just who was really in charge!

We had something similar with Miss May who lost her sister to Cardiomyopathy (Weak Heart). Miss May is a feisty young lady and she was introduced to Eric de Ferret while we were down at the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue and although she tried to be a bit bossy, he was having none of it! He may only be six months old but her didn't back down and the pair came to an agreement!

So young Eric moved in and they both started to learn how to get on together!

OTL takes us walking every day and we have 'Adventures'! The Missus feeds us, so, what more can a pair of puppies and family of fun loving ferrets ask for?
